Inventor: YOUNG JEFFREY E
IPC: G06F17/24
Filed: 1998-11-26
Abstract: A method and an apparatus that keeps track of
locations in an electronic file that is represented as a
hierarchical data structure, generate a point dictionary to
store points that point to locations, and generate point
identifiers to access the points in the point dictionary.
Point identifiers are stored by ancillary routines and with
components in the electronic file's data structure. The
points in the dictionary change as locations in the
electronic file change, but the point identifiers do not
change. The point identifiers stored with the components in
the electronic file's data structure enable the method and
the apparatus to retrieve other points in the same component
without conducting a search through the point dictionary.

IPC: G03F7/20
Filed: 1998-02-26
Abstract: The invention relates to microlithography, in particular to the writing of photomasks for computer displays, microelectronic devices, and precision photoetching. It is also applicable to wafers, optical devices and a variety of electronic interconnection structures such as multichip modules. Other applications are possible, such as printing and graphics, as well as laser projection displays. In the present invention the data conversion is divided in two steps: first cutting the geometries in scan lines and simplifying them, and then finishing the conversion of the scan lines at the point of demand, i.e. in a beam processor in the driving electronics for each beam. The idea is to make as much as possible of the conversion at the latest possible point, i.e. at the beams. What is needed at an earlier stage is to separate the data for different beams and distribute them, and to simplify the data enough to make sure that the beam processors can always handle the data flow.

Abstract: De multiple couleurs sont utilisées en liaison avec un ou plusieurs symboles codés en vue d'accroître la densité informative des symboles codés. Ces couleurs multiples peuvent s'utiliser pour former des symboles codés à indépendance linéaire, qui sont superposés pour former un symbole codé composite. Ces symboles codés à indépendance linéaire peuvent s'utiliser pour désigner différents types d'informations, ou bien peuvent désigner des niveaux séparés d'informations dans lesquels certains niveaux peuvent faire l'objet d'un accès restreint. En variante, les couleurs multiples peuvent s'utiliser pour former un unique symbole codé à dépendance linéaire, dans lequel l'association choisie des couleurs définit des états de données d'éléments correspondants d'une matrice uni- ou bidimensionnelle. Des repères d'alignement sont utilisés pour assurer un alignement d'impression correct des éléments colorés différemment, et ce, en vue de permettre la dépendance linéaire. Dans chaque mode de réalisation, les couleurs peuvent être distinguées à l'aide de techniques d'imagerie électro-optiques.

Abstract: A digital broadcast receiver is provided which can
reliably perform a seek operation for an ensemble.
When a NULL symbol is detected by a NULL detector 20
while a front end 2 sequentially tunes in frequencies
of a plurality of ensembles, a system controller 37A
checks whether the NULL detector 20 detects a
transmission mode permitted for the band of the
ensemble to be presently sought. If detected, the seek
operation is terminated, and the automatic frequency
adjusting system including a frequency error detector
33A, integrator 34, D/A converter 35, reference
oscillator 13, and PLL circuits 7, 12, 17 adjusts a
frequency. If the NULL detector 20 does not detect a

IPC: F01N13/04
Filed: 1999-07-20
Abstract: An NOx occluding and reducing catalyst is disposed
in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion
engine that operates at a lean air-fuel ratio. When the
engine is operating at a lean air-fuel ratio, the NOx
occluding and reducing catalyst absorbs NOx in the
exhaust gas. To release NOx, the engine is operated at a
rich air-fuel ratio so that the exhaust gas flowing into
the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst acquires a rich
air-fuel ratio. While the engine is operated in a region
of moderate lean air-fuel ratios of from the
stoichiometric air-fuel ratio to an air-fuel ratio of
about 20 at the time when the engine operating air-fuel
ratio is changing from a lean air-fuel ratio operation to
a rich air-fuel ratio operation, an electronic control
unit (ECU) of the engine injects secondary fuel, that
does not contribute to combustion, into the cylinders of
the engine through the direct cylinder fuel injection
valves in the expansion stroke or the exhaust stroke of
the cylinders, so that the exhaust gas flowing into the
NOx occluding and reducing catalyst acquires a rich air-fuel
ratio. This prevents unpurified NOx from flowing
out of the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst at the
time when the engine operating air-fuel ratio is changed.

Abstract: A common-rail fuel-injection system is
disclosed, in which varying the effective stroke of an
actuator-operated valve (42) results in adjusting an
amount of fuel leaking out of a pressure-control
chamber (40), thereby controlling the fuel injection in
compliance with the engine operating conditions. When
the lift of the valve (42) is small and therefore the
opening area of the valve (42) is less than the cross-sectioned
area of a fuel leakage path (41), the leakage
of high-pressure fuel out of the pressure is defined by
the lift of the valve (42). According to the pressure
fall in the pressure-control chamber (40), the lift of a
needle valve (24) is regulated to thereby control the
fuel-injection rating, namely, the quantity of fuel
injected and the rate of change of the fuel-injection
rating. An exciting signal applied to the actuator (65)
to operate the its associated valve is determined in
accordance with a desired fuel-injection rating or the
like, which is found in compliance with the engine
operating conditions.
